I almost hate to relate this story to you headisspinning but some years ago my elder/cousin committed Adultry and was Publicly Reproved only and told to "go ahead and marry her"... it's more about congo politics than anything else...

Wanted to get reinstated... Almost ready to give up
by headisspinning ini'd like to hear from anyone who was disfellowshipped but fully intended to go back as soon as possible and how that worked out or didn't.
i'd like to hear how soon you went back to meetings, how many letters requesting reinstatement you wrote, how you were treated, and how long it took you to get bitter and jaded.... or in the off chance you had a positive experience, what exactly happened.. really struggling here... thanks!.

Well blooming I have never been married spent 28 years in the borg expecting the "END" anytime but from the experiences of my family and friends this seems to be the norm. Everyone of my sisters (3) and brothers (2) have or are going thru the same thing. One sister told me, "I don't know who this man I married is" and they have been married 23 years. It seems like (as others have mentioned) the bloom of the initial attraction wears off and there is nothing left.

Fading vs. D'F'd
by Band on the Run ini don't know the details.
is it true that if you slowly withdraw, you are free to go but if you are active and do an offense, you are shunned.
is their principle whether you are appropriating and blemishing the name vs. severity of the actual offense.

It's all about WTS legalize they can take no action against you without any proof. If you fade you are considered inactive if you are caught in a sin then the legalize kicks in and they can act...

Disassociation Letter
by dontplaceliterature inhave any of you who formally diassociated yourself from jehovah's witness by letter sent anything in writing to the entire congregation?
would it be considered bad form to send a letter to friends in the congregation regarding your decision and the reasons for it, before/after/simultaneously you send a letter to the boe?.
i think i would feel compelled to, out of acknowledgement that most of them would not speak to me after "the big announcement.

My DA letter was 2 sentences 1) I da myself and 2) I no longer want to be known as a JW...I never saw a need to go into any reason for my decision as it wouldn't make any difference the rumor mill will run wild anyway. The result will be the same. Your friends and family are conditioned to consider you lost and blinded by satans system.

I can remember when this came out they even had a discussion board set up to discuss it. It was flooded with apostates and they were so SHOCKED at the responses that they shut it down. I remember reading the comments sent to the producers about the dvd saying how they had to ask their elders or call the society to see if it was ok to view it. Now just think the producers painted the WTS in a good light and the rank and file had to ask for permission to view it. You would think they would have gotten the hint about what a mind controlled cult they are...
